I attempted to ask this question earlier yesterday, and I thought it was answer but.. the thing only shows to you, not to the others. The purpose of the script is for a squad system, and only your squad can see you.

01local players = game:GetService('Players')
02local group_id = 3214011 -- Group id
03 
04-- Pre-made so the script doesn't have to keep doing it. 
05local gui = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
06    gui.Size = UDim2.new(2,0,2,0)
07    gui.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,1,0)
08    gui.AlwaysOnTop = true
09local label = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
10    label.Image = "rbxassetid://819434580"
11    label.Size = UDim2.new(0,100,0,100)
12    label.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
13    label.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,-0.5,0)
14    label.BackgroundTransparency = 1
15    label.Parent = gui

19-- Names here in a dictionary style table. 
20local players_allowed = {
21    HarbingerIce = true;
22    VigilantIce = true;
23    chief4587234 = true;
24    CelestialIce = true;
25    JordyIce = true;
26    evilcrossbow = true;
27    FleetAdmiralIce = true;
28    ['spaced name'] = true;

32local function player_joined(player)
33    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
34        if player:IsInGroup(group_id) or players_allowed[player.Name:lower()] then
35            local gui_clone = gui:Clone()
36            local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
37            -- This is the key part.
38                -- Parent it to the PlayerGui, so that it's only visible to that player
39                -- Adornee it to their head. 
40            gui_clone.Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
41            -- Setting the Adornee RIGHT after it's parented seems to fail after re-loading?
42                -- Delay to fix.  
43            delay(.1, function()
44                gui_clone.Adornee = head
45            end)
